Z

As a writer, my A to Z challenge is going to be about books, characters, TV shows and movies that have impacted me somehow. Enjoy! Be sure to check out Lee’s blog to find more bloggers taking on this challenge! 

Zombies? Zorro? Zero. Zip.

Yup. I've got nothing. Not a darn thing. Well, not quite true. I’ve got exhaustion! And sore fingers from all that typing. A lot of great memories. And a lot of new bloggy friends. So, thanks so much to Arlee Bird and his merry band of followers! It’s been a great month and I’m SO glad Lee talked me into signing up this year. Just one more thing...

Zzzzzzz......

S. L. Hennessy said...

Yay, we made it! So glad you participated, I've had a blast reading your posts! Looking forward to all your future non A-Z blogs!

Yvonne Osborne said...

I bet you're glad it's over! Yours were entertaining but I got tired just trying to keep up.

DEZMOND said...

yep, I think this one was a very strange AZ, I've noticed a lot of tired and exhausted and uninspired bloggers in it. Hope people will be more creative next year :)
But I did get one post dedicated to me this year under M (my real name is Miroslav), so that was nice and touching :)))

T. Powell Coltrin said...

And what a great job you did!!

I'm exhausted. :)

You deserve a lot of zzzzzs for making it through. Great job!

Susan Gourley/Kelley said...

ZZZZ seems to be a very popular post today. I've enjoyed your posts.

J.L. Campbell said...

I'm glad it's over. Kinda felt like a hamster on a treadmill, but I do think it's reminded me very strongly that I should be writing a lot more on a day to day basis.

LD Masterson said...

You're sooo much better than I am! You stayed on track and did some great posts. I love how your entire month was themed (I just rambled. Thanks for commenting even on my worst ramble. I really appreciate that!).

And now...Happy May!

Golden Eagle - thanks! And the same to you - I learned a ton. :)

L. Diane Wolfe said...

Between the blogfest I hosted right before the A to Z and the challenge itself, I made a lot of new friends. Reminded me why I don't blog daily anymore thought. But it was fun!

Jemi Fraser said...

Diane - I agree! I wouldn't want to blog daily all the time, but it was a LOT of fun! :)

Patricia Stoltey said...

Yep, we probably all feel naps coming on. But we did it, Jemi. And I for one had a great time this month.

Jemi Fraser said...

Pat - we did indeed! Me too - so much more fun than I expected! :)

Jack said...

Sleep is always good. I like Zzzz's 8-D

Aw, Yoda! I loved Yoda! He was one of my favouritest characters in the movies. And I like the X men too though it has, sadly, been awhile since I've seen it and I've only seen the first two.

Rosalind Adam said...

I'm sure this A to Z was more exhausting than last year's. I'm with you re the ZZZZZs.

Talli Roland said...

That's okay! You're allowed a rest. Congrats on finishing the challenge!

Lisa Gail Green said...

You poor thing! You are amazing. I'm in awe of all of you that completed this all the way through Z. I couldn't even keep up with reading!

Jemi Fraser said...

Lisa - that's kinda where things fell apart for me. I was hoping to meet at least a couple of new people a day, but it didn't work out that way! Too hard to keep up :)

Shelli (srjohannes) said...

i know you are glad it is Z day :)

Jemi Fraser said...

Shelli - I am!! :) I've had a blast, but the wip has suffered - time to get back in full force! :)

Judy Croome | @judy_croome said...

Incredible! You did the A-Z challenge. No wonder you've got exhaustion AND sore fingers! :)

I wanted to join the challenge this year, but events ran away with me. But I'm planning on joining the fun next year!

Judy, South Africa

Jemi Fraser said...

Judy - you've had an emotional and busy couple of months. Definitely not the easiest time to complete a challenge! I'm still not sure about next year though :)
